Polymer collapse in miscible good solvents is a generic phenomenon driven by preferential adsorption
Water and alcohol, such as methanol or ethanol, are miscible and, individually, good solvents for poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm), but this polymer precipitates in water-alcohol mixtures. The intriguing behaviour of solvent mixtures that cannot dissolve a given polymer or a given protein, while the same macromolecule dissolves well in each of the cosolvents, is called cononsolvency. It is ...
متن کاملCollapse of a polymer chain in poor solvents
2014 The behavior of a single, flexible polymer chain near the Flory temperature 0398 is analysed in analogy with a magnetic phase transition. The transition to a collapsed state is related to a tricritical point for the magnetic problem. A solute polymer chain expands in a good solvent, and collapses in a poor solvent [1]. By suitable changes in temperature, or in solvent composition, it is po...

متن کاملCollapse of grafted chains in poor solvents
2014 A mean field theory of the collapse of grafted chains (consisting of N monomers) in a poor solvent is presented. The collapse behaviour of nonoverlapping grafted chains is identical to that of free coils but with no phase separation. This « strong » collapse, in which the coil radius R decreases continuously from R ~ N3/5 in a good solvent to R ~ N1/3 in a poor solvent, is replaced by « we...
متن کاملThe Local Structure of Miscible Polymer Blends
1. Introduction The formation of miscible mixtures of two chemically dissimilar polymers is in general unfavourable. For many materials a single phase is never formed, while for others, the miscible state is only obtained at low temperatures. The classic description of the interaction between two polymers is via the Flory-Huggins theory (for example see [l]) in which x, the interaction paramete...
